Neuroscience and Courthouse Design Workshop

ANFA hosted a Neuroscience and Courthouse Design Workshop last year. ANFA has hosted several workshops over the years to bring neuroscientists, architects, and specialists together to think about problems faced by specific architectural program types. Past workshops have focused on healthcare facilities, sacred spaces, elementary schools, facilities for the aging, and laboratories.

This workshop focused on exploring different architectural interventions for reducing stress for jurors. An article about the workshop can be found here:
